    Then There Was WWASP

    INTRODUCING SEASON 2: Trapped In Treatment

    INTRODUCING SEASON 2: Trapped In Treatment

    Paris Hilton’s “Trapped in Treatment” is back for a second season with hosts Caroline Cole and Rebecca Mellinger Grone as they investigate the Worldwide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools (WWASP) - the largest global network of programs in the history of the troubled teen industry.

    Our first season's story continues with a look into how one man — a man who got his start at Provo Canyon School — masterminded his own universe of programs replete with allegations of abuse, isolation, and trauma that spanned from the arid deserts of Utah to the humid beaches of Jamaica.

    With first-hand accounts from survivors and interviews with former employees and industry experts, “Trapped in Treatment” Season 2 explores the complex nature of the troubled teen industry and the lack of justice for those that have lived through it.

Ads!!

I was really looking forward to this podcast after listening to the trailer. However, it is a very short podcast and the ads are way too frequent. I’m wondering how many actual minutes of podcasts there are in an episode. It’s a shame because it’s an important subject.

Vocal Fry!

Can’t do it. I could maybe deal with the adds but I can’t listen to the FRY! Some people think that’s cool and sophisticated. Some of us think it’s REALLY annoying. Safe bet? Just use your normal voice!

Way too many ads

For the length of each episode there are way too many ad breaks. Probably half of the episode is ads
